Delaware County Council, the Delaware County Library System, and the Delaware County Community College present “Fall for a Book: Delaware County Reads Flags of Our Fathers.” Fall for a Book is Delaware County’s first One Book, One County project.
Author James Bradley will visit the Community College, the Pennsylvania Veterans Museum, and the Aston Community Center and Public Library on Saturday, October 20. Bradley will arrive at the College at 12:30 p.m. on October 20 to speak at 1 p.m., followed by a book-signing. Free tickets for this event can be picked up at the Campus Life Office beginning August 1. For ticket information, call or email Campus Life
As well as the author visits, there will be many local events in public libraries, such as book discussions, veterans speaking about their Iwo Jima experiences, and film screenings.
The librarians have pulled together a website with resources for faculty and students http://dccc.edu/library/flagsofourfathers.html and will also be doing a display in the library exhibit window. We currently have purchased materials including related films, audio version of the book and Young Adult version of the book appropriate for ESL and Developmental readers.
